    Morning, one load of washing in the machine and that's going to need drying in the TD - yep I've checked and it has a light :smileyhea

    Last night I finished all the ironing - boy it was like a marathon. I swear GG and Froggy are sneaking their stuff in :)

    3p TT OP :)

    Since we sorted the loft and study I am finding that I feel far more organised. It must have been weighing heavy on my mind and for some reason, it got in the way of running the home. Last night I had some unexpected paperwork to do and spent an hour in the study. Being able to find all the documentation needed and firing off a letter was seriously a delight. It must have saved us hours of effort.

    However, I still have one thing on my mind. I have mislaid something when sorting the dining room in November last year and need to find it. This is driving me mad so I am setting aside time on Thursday night to hunt it down :eek:

    No more money updates - all on track but I do need to update my signature with MF date of March 2016. We have taken the decision to put aside two months of OPs to fund the holiday next year, along with our normal holiday budget. Not sure if that will cover spending money but will work that out during this year - I want to make sure the holiday is a Far Eastern trip of a lifetime, with no worries about money, so some saving is needed.

    Off to a shop which is closing down to grab some bargainous items now.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Good Morning to all the visitors to Tilly's thread.

    :j on your 3p OP :T:T

    I'll follow your advice regarding cake-making. Alas, in our household only half the cake batter makes it into the oven.

    Morning MFW chums :)

    I was at the shop for just 7.45 am and managed to get about £120 of mince, chicken, beef, pork etc for £50 ish. A large supermarket is closing and moving today and the bargains were amazing. I have no idea how it's all fitted into the freezer but I definitely won't need to buy meat for weeks :T. Everything was reduced and the multi buys, ie 3 for £10 also kicked in, so I am one happy Mrs T.

    Now GG and Froggy, I don't mind ironing shirts, or jeans but honestly did you have to leave your mankini Froggy :o

    I'll be speaking to Mr T to see if I/we can identify your agent Froggy :rotfl:

    Right, I am now behind with my work so need to crack on.

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    Let's give you a hint - if anone comes back from their early morning walk and you say 'crikey, looks like the weight has just fallen off you.....' - it was actually the ironing :rotfl:

    just wanted to share a low carb nut treat recipe, i tried it and it is addictive, i put it into those cake cases instead of cutting it into bars ... i had to make a second batch the next day, but found that i think i had overdosed on nuts as my lips started tingling the next day, so had to stop eating them ( i will ofcourse go back to eating them again soon :) )

    sorry to butt in just wanted to share as Tilly's talk of cakes had me droooooooling :)

    * wonders if i can join in with the dropping of the ironing into Tilly's house*

    have you decided exactly where you fancy going in Asia yet ?

    How did that work? Do the 3 for £10s etc. just deduct a set amount from the total? I had (wrongly) assumed that they'd recognise the lower prices of reduced items and wouldn't work (as you'd be spending less than the £10 'offer' price).

    Good bargains :beer:
